5Point5
5Point5 opens with pineapple and tangerine aromas that set the tone for a refreshingly balanced ale. The light malt body stays lean and clean, letting those citrus notes breathe without heaviness. Mild earthy and citrus flavors weave through the palate, creating a gently layered drinking experience—neither showy nor dull. The bitterness arrives in just the right measure, enough to frame the fruit without dominating it. At 5.5 percent alcohol, this American IPA reads as a session-friendly drink that works well on a warm afternoon or as a between-rounds beer when you want complexity without fatigue.
